SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Point #1 you are correct in the way you took it. Point 2, it indicates that the Bills D is the best of the bunch when we win. As far as my analysis, I'll get there in a bit. Potentially in a new topic. I've gone through this analysis and then some for every team in the league over the past 2 years and charted it all in a spreadsheet. Yes, I'm a math nerd.

JM2009 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 you never give up. Better Teams? Head to head comparison of 5 teams Bills 7-9*, Ravens 8-8, Colts 8-8, Saints 7-9, Chargers 5-11. Nice try. Have a good day. Offense vs playoff teams: 25.0 ppg Defense vs playoff teams: 33.1 ppg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 What does that tell us? Against playoff teams the offense has to score more. Occums Rasor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because no one should expect 25 points to beat a good team. SMH. 31 points against Miami with one minute left-that's not enough either, right?

Do they have better weaons and a better QB? -Yup.... So, despite all the statistical love, It's fair for folks to question TT's usefulness going forward... Especially since the FO found it prudent to pass on both Decker AND Maclin... Setting McDermott up to fail????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do, can they count on TT for run support??? I would've loved it if we Macdecker'd things this season... Teams that were serious about improving their bottom line stepped up...

Setting McDermott up to fail????? Yeah they had a worse defense. They also had the number one scoring offense in the league. 99 points more than any other team. Are your expectations and bench mark that high? Edited June 22, 2017 by Scott7975 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are your expectations and bench mark that high? Aren't yours? I'll never understand what this team has against building to the competition... This is an arms race... Teams like ATL, TEN, and TAM get that... NE has perhaps the greatest weapon in the league with TB... Why aren't we digging through his trash for hair follicles to CLONE the son-of-a-*gun... We'll never go far because we never go far enough... GO BILLS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM2009 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Why not improve both? Occams Razor. For 2017, the defense is fixable. That was the main problem in 2016, not the offense. Some good posters have proved this and yet the agendas keep going. TT must have done something to you guys. How can you even root for the team to win this year is beyond me when the handful of you have an infatuation of hate against the starting QB.

Atlanta the year before only scored 21.x points a game the season before. Good for 22nd in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
